Feedback on my initial ideas

last lesson I received some feedback on my initial ideas , one of my class mates said that i should shoot most of the shots using the hand-held camera technique. I really like this idea because it helps to capture the audiences attention, I decided to watch how this technique has been used in past films like Cloverfield and Rec. My teacher also gave me some feedback and said that I should wake up early to go and shoot the scenes during the holidays which is also a good idea which i will consider taking on board.

Feedback on Questionnaire Questions

During my last lesson i received some feedback from my class mates , on how effective my questions were and what i could do to make those same questions better. For example one of my class mates said that a specific set of questions were placed in the wrong order, and that by correcting the order of these questions, it wouldn't confuse the person filling out the questionnaire which is always a plus so i instantly changed the order of that set of questions. Another class mate suggested that i should make the questions less vague and more specific in order to get more detailed answers, i also took the advice on board and gave the questions a bit of depth. There are many other things that i have embraced from the feedback which made me change my questionnaire in order to make it better.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo teaser trailer



This is the teaser trailer for the film Girl with the Dragon Tattoo starring Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara directed by David Flincher. This teaser trailer is fast paced throughout ,due to the fast transitions between shots , allowing the trailer to gain momentum until the last shot in which we see the camera zooming into a white house which emphasises the importance of that scene with the house. The soundtrack plays in the background throughout the trailer giving the following shots an atmospheric feel , which helps to gain the attention of the audience. There are also many shots of Daniel Craig which also helps to get the audiences attention because he is a well known actor of high status. This teaser trailer in my opinion has done a great job in teasing the audience therefore making it a successful teaser trailer.
